1j[t @)· JUDGMENT

'Judgment' means the expression of the opinJ9n of the Judge· or

Magistrate arrived at after due consideration of the evidence and of the
arguments. Judgment means a verdict of conviction or acquittal ,but n~n
-order of discharge under Section 268. It is a fundamental rule of criminal
jurisprudence that the judge who hears the evidence should write the
judgment.
The judgment is the final reasoned decision of the Court as to the guilt
-
or innocence of the accused. Where the accused is found guilty, the judgment
would include an order requiring the accused to undergo the prescribed
punishment or tr~tment. A judgment is the final decision of the Court
intimated to the parties and the world at large by formal pronouncement or
delivery in open Court.

Judgment (Sec. 392)

(1) The judgment in every trial in any Criminal Court of original
jurisdiction shall be pronounced in open Court by the presiding officer
immediately after the termination of the trial or at some subsequent time not
later than forty-five days of which notice shall be given to the parties or their
advocates,-
(a) by delivering the whole of the judgment; or
(b) by reading out the whole of the judgment; or
(c) by r~~in out the o erative art of the 'udgment and
explaining the substance of the judgment in a language w ch is
understood by the accused or his advocate.
(2) Where the .i!tdgment is delivered under clause (a) of sub-section (1),
the presiding officer shall cause it to be taken down in short-hand, sign the
transcript and every page thereof as soon as it is made ready, and write on it
the date of the delivery of the judgment in open Court.
(3) Where the judgment or the operative part thereof is read out under
clause (b) or clause (c) of sub-section (1), as the case may be, it shall be dated
and signed by the presiding officer in open Court, and if it is not written with
his own hand, every page of the judgment shall be signed by him.
(4) Where the judgment is pronounced in the manner specified in clause
(c) of sub-section (1), the whole judgment or a copy thereof shall be
immediately made available for the perusal of the parties or their advocates
free of cost:
Provided that the Court shall, as far as practicable, upload the copy of
the judgment on its portal within a period of seven days from the date of
